- smt88 7y agoI think you misunderstand what I meant by lock-in. Everything you just mentioned is not a lock-in for users. You can use your Android phone with non-Google operating systems without hacking your phone. The same is not true of iOS. If you buy an iPhone, which is a big investment for most people, then you must either use Apple's App Store or jailbreak.
